DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Examples provide for a modularized storage container that includes a lid configured to hold a bowl of a water pipe. In such examples, the bowl of the water pipe may include a bowl stem and a bowl section, while the lid may include an opening to a well dimensioned to fit a bowl stem of the bowl. Additionally, the depth of the well may be deep enough such that the bowl may stand on its own without additional support when placed in the well. That way, users of the water pipe may be able to place consumable material, such as tobacco, within the bowl well of the bowl, hands-free. Typically, under conventional approaches, the lid of a storage container is without a bowl stand or hole. In such circumstances, the lid of the conventional storage container may not enable a user to stand the bowl in such a way where the user can place consumable material within the bowl well of the bowl, hands-free.

Additionally, examples provide for the modularized storage container to include a removable de-bowler. In such examples, a storage compartment of the modularized storage container may be configured to hold a detachable de-bowler attachment within the storage compartment. The de-bowler attachment may include a de-bowler element that enables a user to remove combusted consumable material in the bowl well of the bowl of the water pipe or a hand pipe. Further, since, in such examples, the de-bowler attachment is within the storage compartment, the combusted consumable material, when removed, may be contained within the storage compartment and prevent such combusted consumable material from going elsewhere. In contrast, conventional storage containers generally are without such an attachment and as such, such conventional storage containers may not enable a user to remove the combusted consumable material from the bowl well of the bowl as effectively.

Modularized Storage Container Description

With reference to FIG. 1 , example modularized storage container 100 may include a lid 200, a top storage compartment 400 and bottom storage compartment 500. In various examples, lid 200 of modularized storage container 100 may be configured to hold a bowl of a water pipe. In such examples, the bowl of the water pipe may include a bowl stem and a bowl section, while the lid may include an opening with a bowl stand well dimensioned to fit a bowl stem of the bowl. Additionally, the depth of the well may be deep enough such that the bowl may stand on its own without additional support when placed in the well. That way, users of the water pipe may be able to place consumable material, such as tobacco, within the bowl well of the bowl, hands-free. Additionally, modularized storage container 100 may store consumable materials and/or various items, such as components of a water pipe (a bowl, tab, down-stem, grommet, etc.), within top storage compartment 400 and/or bottom storage compartment 500.

FIGS. 2A-2C illustrate an example lid 200, according to one or more examples. Lid 200 may include top end 111 and bottom end 112. Additionally, lid 200 may include a bowl stand. For example, lid 200 may have a thickness that defines an opening 116 at bottom end 112 of lid 200. Additionally, lid 200 may include a bowl stand well 118 (not shown in FIG. 2A-2C) that extends from opening 116 to top end 111. The bowl stand may include the opening 116 and the bowl stand well 118. Further, the bowl stand well 118 may be dimensioned to fit a bowl stem of a bowl of a water pipe. For example, if the bowl stem of a bowl of a water pipe is tapered, bowl stand well 118 may be tapered to accommodate the tapered bowl stem. In another example, if the bowl stem of the bowl of the water pipe is straight, then bowl stand well 118 may be straight to accommodate the straight bowl stem. In various examples, the opening 116 and bowl stand well 118 may be in the center of lid 200. In other examples, the opening 116 and bowl stand well 118 may be off center of lid 200.

As illustrated in FIG. 2B, lid 200 may include a top surface 110 at top end 111. In some examples, top surface 110 may be flat. In other examples, top surface 110 may be curved, uneven or irregular. Additionally, lid 200 may include base 119. In various examples, base 119 of lid 200 may include a channel portion 114 that surrounds opening 116. In various examples, the channel portion 114 may have a depth extending towards top end 111. In such examples, portions of base 119 adjacent to opening 116 may gradually rise from the bottom the channel portion 114 to the opening 116. Further, the remaining portions of base 119 may be on the same plane as the opening 116.

Additionally, lid 200 may include one or more lip structures. For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 2A-2C, lid 200 may include lip 120 at top end 111 and lip 121 at bottom end 112. In some examples, lip 120 and lip 121 may each include a protruding edge. In various examples, a diameter of the protruding edge of lip 120 may be larger than the protruding edge of lip 121. In such examples, lip 120 and lip 121 may be separated by a recessed portion 113. In other examples, lid 200 can be formed from various types of materials, such a silicone, rubber, ceramic, polymeric material (e.g., clear polyurethane), or glass (e.g., borosilicate glass).

FIGS. 3A-3C, illustrate how a user may place the bowl 350, including the bowl stem 370 and bowl section 360, into the bowl stand well 118 of lid 200. As illustrated in FIG. 3A, lid 200 may be placed top surface 110, down, and opening 116, up. Additionally, a user may place the bowl stem 370 of bowl 350 of the water pipe into the bowl stand well 118. As illustrated in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the height of the bowl stand well 118 may cover a portion of bowl stem 370 when bowl stem 370 is fully inserted into the bowl stand well 118. In various examples, the height of bowl stand well 118 may be dimensioned to fully cover the height of bowl stem 370. In either examples, the height/depth of bowl stand well 118 may support the bowl 350, such that the bowl 350 is free standing and does not need additional support when inserted into bowl stand well 118. In such examples, a user may add consumable material into a bowl well 364 of bowl section 360, without needing additional support or hold onto bowl 350.

As illustrated in FIGS. 3C, channel portion 114 may be sloped or curved. In some examples, the sloped and curved nature of channel portion 114 may collect and contain any consumable material dropped during the process of the user adding the consumable material into the bowl well 364 of bowl section 360. In such examples, unlike conventional flat surfaces, the sloped and curved surface of channel portion 114 may contain the dropped consumable material in a smaller area and make it easier for the user to recollect dropped consumable material that was dropped during the process of the user adding the consumable material into bowl well 364.

FIGS. 4A-4E illustrate an example top storage compartment 400. Top storage compartment may have a thickness that defines an opening 146 at top end section 141. Additionally, top storage compartment 400 may include a well 143 that extends from opening 146 to the bottom end section 142. Within well 143 and at the bottom end section 142, well 143 may include a well bottom surface 144. In some examples, well 143 may include angular corners. In other examples well, 143 may include rounded corners or be conical-like, to prevent items, such as consumable materials stored in well 143 from being stuck into the corners. In various examples, top storage compartment 400 may be formed out of various materials, such as metal, ceramic, wood, or silicone. Further, in some examples, top storage compartment 400 may be formed from glass, such as borosilicate glass, and may be opaque, transparent, or tinted with a particular color.

In some examples, the exterior surface 140 of top storage compartment 400 may gradually taper from top end section 141 to bottom end section 142. Additionally, or alternatively, in various examples, the thickness of the wall of the top end section 141 may be greater than the thickness of the wall of the bottom end section 142, such that the exterior surface of top storage compartment 400 may form an overhang 145 between the top end section 141 and the bottom end section 142. Further, in such examples, a diameter of the portion of the top end section 141 near opening 146 may be smaller than a diameter of the portion of the top end section 141 that is adjacent to the overhang 145. Additionally, in such examples, a diameter of the portion of the bottom end section 142 that is adjacent to the overhang 145 may be smaller than a diameter of base 147 at the bottom end section 142. In some examples, the side surface of well 143 may gradually taper from top end section 141 to bottom end section 142. In such examples, the tapering of the side surface of well 143 may be parallel to the tapering of the exterior surface 140. In other examples, the side surface of well 143 may be straight. In other examples, base 147 may be a flat surface. In various examples, base 147 may be curved, uneven or irregular.

FIGS. 5A-5D illustrate an example bottom storage compartment 500. In some examples, bottom storage compartment 500 may have a thickness that defines an opening 176 at top end section 171. Additionally, bottom storage compartment 500 may include a well 173 that extends from opening 176 to the bottom end section 172. Within well 173 and at the bottom end section 172, well 173 may include a well bottom surface 177. Additionally, or alternatively, in various examples, within well 173 and at the bottom end section 172, well 173 may include one or more structures or dividers (e.g., divider 175A and divider 175B) to section the space within well 173 at the bottom end section 172. In some examples, the area between the dividers may be dimensioned to fit components of a water pipe (e.g., a bowl with bowl stem, a tab, a down-stem, etc.). In other examples, each of the one or more structures or dividers may be formed from the bottom end section 172 of the bottom storage compartment 500. In various examples, each of the one or more structures or dividers may be detachable or removable. In such examples, the dividers or structures may include one or more tracks. Additionally, each track may be dimensioned to fit a divider or flat structure of a particular thickness. That way, a user may be able to pull out or place into the track the divider of flat structure of the particular thickness.

In some examples, well 173 may include angular corners. In other examples well 143 may include rounded corners. In such examples, if consumable material is being stored in well 173, the rounded corners may prevent consumable materials from being stuck or wedged into the corners. In various examples, bottom storage compartment 500 may be formed out of various materials, such as metal, ceramic, wood, or silicone. Further, in some examples, bottom storage compartment 500 may be formed from glass, such as borosilicate glass, and may be opaque, transparent, or tinted with a particular color.

In other examples, the well 173 may include a lip 174, such as protruding edge. In some examples, the exterior surface 170 of top storage compartment 400 may gradually taper from top end section 171 to bottom end section 172. Additionally, in such examples, a diameter of opening 176 is smaller than a diameter of base 178 at the bottom end section 172. In various examples, one or more portions of a side surface of well 173 (e.g., between lip 174 and bottom end section 172 and between lip 174 and top end section 171) may gradually taper from top end section 171 to bottom end section 172. In such examples, the tapering of the one or more portions of the side surface of well 173 may be parallel to the tapering of the exterior surface 170. In other examples, the one or more portions of the side surface of well 173 may be straight.

In some examples, bottom storage compartment 500 may have a base 147 that may be a flat surface. In other examples, base 147 may be curved, uneven or irregular. Additionally, or alternatively, in various examples, bottom storage compartment 500 may have exterior angular corners at bottom end section 172. In some examples, bottom storage compartment 500 may have exterior rounded corners at bottom end section 172.

FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 illustrate a collapsed view of example modularized storage container 100. FIG. 7 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the example modularized storage container 100. As illustrated in FIG. 6 , when the modularized storage container 100 is collapsed, lid 200 may make contact with top storage compartment 400. Additionally, top storage compartment 400 may make contact with bottom storage compartment 500. In some examples, the exterior surfaces of at least top storage compartment 400 and bottom storage compartment 500 may be on the same plane, or flush, when top storage compartment 400 is inserted into bottom storage compartment 500. Further, in some examples, the protruding edge of lip 120 may also be on the same plane, or flush with, the exterior surfaces of at least top storage compartment 400 and bottom storage compartment 500.

As illustrated in FIG. 7 , when lid 200 is placed on top of top storage compartment 400, lid 200 may be partially inserted into well 143. In some examples, the diameter of the protruding edge of lip 120 of lid 200 may be dimensioned such that the bottom surface of protruding edge of lip 120 may by make contact with the top of top storage compartment 400. Additionally, the diameter of the protruding edge of lip 121 of lid 200 may be dimensioned such that the protruding edge of lip 121 may be within well 143 of top storage compartment 400. Additionally, or alternatively, in some examples, protruding edge of lip 121 may be dimensioned such that the protruding edge of lip 120 may make contact with the side surface of well 143. In such examples, when lid 200 is placed on top of top storage compartment 400 (e.g., protruding edge of lip 120 is making contact with the top of top storage compartment 400 and protruding edge of lip 121 is within well 143 and making contact with the wall of well 143), a seal is formed preventing air to go into well 143. In such examples, lid 200 may prevent items stored within well 143, such as consumable material, from being exposed to additional air or other environmental particles.

Moreover, when top storage compartment 400 is placed on top of bottom storage compartment 500, the protruding edge of lip 174 may prevent top storage compartment 400 from making contact with the dividers within well 173. In some examples, the protruding edge of lip 174 may include top end section 171 facing corners. The top end section 171 facing corners may be dimensioned to fit the exterior corners of top storage compartment 400 at bottom end section 142. In examples where the exterior corners at bottom end section 142 of top storage compartment 400 have angular corners, the top end section 171 facing corners may be angular corners dimensioned to fit the angular exterior corners at bottom end section 142 of top storage compartment 400. In other examples where the exterior corners at bottom end section 142 of top storage compartment 400 have rounded corners, the top end section 171 facing corners may be rounded corners dimensioned to fit the rounded exterior corners at bottom end section 142 of top storage compartment 400. Additionally, the section of top end section 171 between the protruding edge of lip 174 and opening 176 may be dimensioned to have a height such that the top of top storage compartment 400 may make contact with the overhang 145 of top storage compartment 400, when the base 147 of top storage compartment 400 and the exterior corners at bottom end section 142 of top storage compartment 400 are making contact with the protruding edge of lip 174 and the top end section 171 facing corners of the protruding edge of lip 174.

FIG. 7 also illustrates bowl stand well 118 of lid 200. As illustrated in FIG. 7 , lid 200 may have a thickness that defines an opening 116 at the bottom end 112 of lid 200. Additionally, lid 200 may include a bowl stand well 118 that extends from opening 116 to top end 111. The bowl stand may include the opening 116 and the bowl stand well 118. Further, the bowl stand well 118 may be dimensioned to fit a bowl stem of a bowl of a water pipe.

In various examples, lid 200 of modularized storage container 800 may be configured to hold a bowl of a water pipe. In such examples, the bowl of the water pipe may include a bowl stem and a bowl section, while the lid may include an opening 116 (not shown in FIG. 8 ) with a bowl stand well 118 (not shown in FIG. 8 ) dimensioned to fit a bowl stem of the bowl. Additionally, the height of the bowl stand well 118 (not shown in FIG. 8 ) may be deep enough such that the bowl may stand on its own without additional support when placed in the well. That way, users of the water pipe may be able to place consumable material, such as tobacco, within the bowl well of the bowl, hands-free.

Additionally, in various examples, compartment 900 may include debowler 1000 within compartment 900. In such examples, debowler 1000 may include one or more debowler elements that enables a user to remove combusted consumable material in a bowl well of a bowl of a water pipe or hand pipe. Further, since, in such examples, debowler 1000 may be within the compartment 900 when the combusted consumable material is removed. As such, the combusted consumable material may be contained within the compartment 900 and prevent such combusted consumable material from going elsewhere.

FIGS. 9A-9F illustrate an example compartment 900. Compartment 900 may have a thickness that defines an opening 804 at top end portion 802. Additionally, compartment 900 may include a well 805 that extends from opening 804 to bottom end portion 803. Within well 805 and at the bottom end portion 803, well 805 may include bottom surface 806. In some examples, well 805 may include angular corners. In other examples, well 805 may have rounded corners or be conical-like, to prevent combusted consumable materials from getting stuck in the corners. In various examples, compartment 900 may be formed out of various materials, such as metal, ceramic, silicone or rubber. Further, in some examples, compartment 900 may be formed from glass, such as borosilicate glass, and may be opaque, transparent, or tinted with a particular color.

In some examples, the exterior surface 801 of compartment 900 may gradually taper from top end portion 802 to bottom end portion 803. Additionally, or alternatively, in various examples, the thickness of the wall of the top end portion 802 may be greater than the thickness of the wall of the bottom end portion 803, such that the exterior surface 801 of compartment 900 may form an overhang portion 810 between the top end portion 802 and the bottom end portion 803. Further, in such examples, a diameter of the portion of the top end portion 802 near to opening 804 is smaller than a diameter of the portion of the top end portion 802 that is adjacent to the overhang portion 810. Additionally, a diameter of the portion of the bottom end portion 803 that is adjacent to the overhang portion 810 is smaller than a diameter of base 813 at the bottom end portion 803. In some examples, the wall of well 805 may gradually taper from top end portion 802 to bottom end portion 803. In such examples, the tapering of the wall of well 805 may be parallel to the tapering of the exterior surface 801. In other examples, the wall of well 805 may be straight. In other examples, base 813 may be a flat surface. In various examples, base 813 may be curved, uneven or irregular.

In some examples, compartment 900 may include one or more indent elements (e.g., 807A, 807B). In such examples, the top end portion 802 may include the one or more indent elements. An indent element may be a recess formed from compartment 900 extending from the top end portion 802 towards the bottom end portion 803. In various implementations, the indent element may be dimensioned to fit a cylindrical or conical portion of a device or apparatus (e.g., a hand pipe) configured to combust consumable materials, such as tobacco. Although FIGS. 9A, 8B, 8C and 9E illustrate compartment 900 including two indent elements, indent element 807A and 807B, compartment 900 may include any number of indent elements.

In other examples, well 805 may include a well opening 809 at bottom surface 806. Additionally, well 805 may include a conduit 812 extending from well opening 809 to base opening 811. In various examples, base opening 811, well opening 809 and conduit 812 may be dimensioned to fit one or more portions of debowler 1000.

FIG. 10A-10E illustrate an example debowler 1000. In some examples, debowler 1000 may have a first base portion 836 and a second base portion 833. As illustrated in FIGS. 10A, 10C and 10D, first base portion 836 may include a top end section 837 and a bottom end section 838. Additionally, first base portion 836 may extend from top end section 837 to bottom end section 383. In some examples, bottom end section 383 may include base 839. In other examples bottom end section 383 may have angular corners. In various examples, bottom end section 383 may have curved or rounded corners. Moreover, first base portion 836 may include a surface 841 at top end section 837.

In some examples, second base portion 833 may extend from top end section 834 to bottom end section 835. Additionally, in some embodiments, second base portion 833 may be on top of or formed from surface 841. In such embodiments, bottom end section 835 of second base portion 833 may be adjacent to top end section 837 of first base portion 836. Additionally, top end section 834 may include surface 840. In various examples, second base portion 833 may have a diameter or width that is smaller than a width or diameter of first base portion 836. Alternatively, first base portion 836 may have a diameter or width that is smaller than a width or diameter of second base portion 833. In other examples, first base portion may have a thickness or height that is greater than the thickness or height of second base portion 833, or vice-versa. Alternatively, first base portion and second base portion have similar or the same thickness or height.

In some examples, debowler 1000 may have a debowler element 830. Additionally, debowler element 830 may include top end section 831 and bottom end section 832. Further, debowler element 830 may extend from bottom end section 832 to top end section 831. In some examples, debowler element 830 may gradually taper from bottom end section 832 to top end section 831. Additionally, in various implementations, debowler element 830 may taper from bottom end section 832 to top end section 831 and come to a point or apex at top end section 831. In some examples, the point or apex may be rounded. In other examples, the point or apex may be angled. In either examples, the point or apex may be used to remove or dislodge debris or items in an open container or well-like-structure.

For example, a user may position a bowl of a water pipe or a hand pipe over the debowler element 830, such that the debowler element 830 is fully or partially inside the bowl well of the bowl. Additionally, while holding the bowl, the user may apply a combination of vertical, lateral and/or rotational movement, while the debowler element 830 is within the bowl well of the bowl. While the user is moving the bowl (with the debowler element 830 being partially or fully inside the bowl well of the bowl), the point or apex of the debowler element 830 may dislodge combusted consumable material or debris inside the bowl well. A debowler element 830 with a point or apex may dislodge and remove combusted consumable material inside the bowl well more effectively than a debowler element 830 without a point or apex.

In some examples, debowler element 830 may be pyramidal in shape. In other examples, debowler element 830 may be conical in shape. In such examples, a diameter of top end section 831 may be smaller than a diameter of bottom end section 832. In other examples, debowler element 830 may have one or more recessed portions (e.g., 830A, 830B). For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10A-10D, debowler element 830 may include two recessed portions 830A and 830B. Although FIG. 10A-10D illustrates a debowler element 830 including two recessed portions, recessed portion 830A and recessed portion 830B, a debowler element 830 may include any number of recessed portions. Additionally, recessed portions 830A and 830B may be opposite one another and the edges of each recessed area may be angled. In some examples, the recessed portions may not be opposite one another and the gap between each recessed portion may be unequal. In various examples, the angled edges of each recessed area may also help pick up and remove or items in an open container or well-like-structure, such as the bowl well of the bowl.

For example, a user may position a bowl of a water pipe or a hand pipe over the debowler element 830, such that the debowler element 830 is fully or partially inside the bowl well of the bowl. Additionally, while holding the bowl, the user may apply a combination of vertical, lateral and/or rotational movement, while the debowler element 830 is within the bowl well of the bowl.
